beneath atlantis

the blue skies and shady clouds
the water that sometimes was irredescent
underneath the bright sunshine
the grainy sand, with bits of granite

the waiting with each wave, as it splashed shorewise
driftwood seeking shelter in coves
seagulls perching, on abandoned sand castles
rocking seabeds, with their glittering fish below

where can memories find shelter, in cavenous thought
where can they go, to find some peace
i can't rememember a time, when you weren't some thought
behind each memory

now where have the waves gone
with the blistering sand and heat

they have gone home
to the atlantis, under the sea
